We started another home-improvement project about a month ago when Ben & I decided to replace carpet in the den (a.k.a. previous garage). For a while it just looked chaotic down there with furniture strewn about a bare concrete floor. I knew I didn't want carpet down there again & talked to several people about putting in tile, but the surface wasn't completely even, and we were a little apprehensive about doing it ourselves... not to mention working this project into our new budget. Ben finally came up with the idea of Kemiko's concrete stain.
After cleaning, scrubbing, and two coats of spraying stain.
After a few more moppings, Ben had to seal the floor. It became pretty toxic in here and THIS is when Kaden & I had to leave the house for several hours.
Schatzi looking depressed. We told her so many times to "stay away" that she STILL hasn't been on the new floor.
When we were working on the den (two weekends), ALL of the furniture was moved in the living room. It's amazing at how much bigger our house seems now that everything is back in order. I'm suddenly less stressed now the house is back to normal.
The NEW floor!
* For the record, I really only helped move furniture & keep Kaden occupied while Ben did all of the work. :)
That looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the floor, tell Ben if he feels like doing some side jobs he can roadtrip to MO and do our basement!
